xDSL/Cable Modem Triple/Quintuple Output
Power Supplies
General Description
The MAX1864/MAX1865 power-supply controllers are
designed to address cost-conscious applications such
as cable modem Consumer Premise Equipment (CPE),
xDSL CPE, and set-top boxes. Operating off a low-cost,
unregulated DC supply (such as a wall adapter output),
the MAX1864 generates three positive outputs, and the
MAX1865 generates four positive outputs and one neg-
ative output to provide a cost-effective system power
supply.
The MAX1864 includes a current-mode synchronous
step-down controller and two positive regulator gain
blocks. The MAX1865 has one additional positive gain
block and one negative regulator gain block. The main
synchronous step-down controller generates a
high-current output that is preset to 3.3V or adjustable
from 1.236V to 0.8
✕
V
IN
with an external resistive-
divider. The 100kHz/200kHz operating frequency
allows the use of low-cost aluminum-electrolytic capaci-
tors and low-cost power magnetics. Additionally, the
MAX1864/MAX1865 step-down controllers sense the
voltage across the low-side MOSFET’s on-resistance to
efficiently provide the current-limit signal, eliminating
the need for costly current-sense resistors.
The MAX1864/MAX1865 generate additional supply
rails at low cost. The positive regulator gain blocks use
an external PNP pass transistor to generate low-voltage
rails directly from the main step-down converter (such
as 2.5V or 1.8V from the main 3.3V output) or higher
voltages using coupled windings from the step-down
converter (such as 5V, 12V, or 15V). The MAX1865’s
negative gain block uses an external NPN pass transis-
tor in conjunction with a coupled winding to generate
-5V, -12V, or -15V.
All output voltages are externally adjustable, providing
maximum flexibility. Additionally, the MAX1864/
MAX1865 feature soft-start for the step-down converter
and all the positive linear regulators, and have a power-
good output that monitors all of the output voltages.
